300 you have to wait a little for text but 150 was really slow. When I got my 2400 and 9600 things were crazy fast.

One day in the mid 1980s we were checking the speeds available in our VT100 terminals. For fun we dropped it down to 150 to see what that was like. It was so slow that when you hit the delete key, you could watch it backspace, type a space, then backspace again.
